Robbie Buhl was an established professional competing in IndyCar, a single-class national championship run entirely on oval tracks and mixing amateur through professional-graded drivers in the same field. He raced for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing across a nine-season career from 1996 to 2004, recording 78 starts.[1]
Buhl took two wins and nine podiums across his IndyCar tenure. He finished 21st in the championship standings in his final season in 2004. His results came against a competitive field; he was closely matched with Scott Sharp, a Platinum-graded professional who also raced IMSA WeatherTech and the World Endurance Championship, and with Buddy Lazier, who won the 2000 IndyCar championship. Buhl finished ahead of Tony Stewart, a 1997 IndyCar champion, on ten occasions, and beat Dario Franchitti, who would go on to win four IndyCar titles, three times during their overlapping seasons.[2]
